Re: Creditcard.js: a more usable credit card form
#2Looks interesting. Is there an option to also display certain billing address fields? I use minFraud and it requires a country, state, city, and postal code for distance checks.
Personally, I also hate dropdowns for expiration. Isn't it far easier to just type in what's on the card and validate that as a valid date?

#3> Creditcard.js avoids these design mistakes, providing an HTML/CSS/JS solution compatible with any payment form.
If it requires JS, then it isn't compatible with any payment form.

#4For a simpler, open-source alternative, check out Skeuocard [1], I believe it was posted on HN previously.

When JS is not available, this becomes a regular HTML form with inputs and selects.

#6Interesting price point; it seems to be in a no-mans land where developers who can pay $300 would probably be in a position that they'd want to implement it themselves, yet it might be prohibitively expensive for smaller clients who'd better spend their efforts elsewhere and could use Skeuocard or Stripe.js for free.
Surprised to see the 'one website' clause, as well -- as someone who spends a lot of time working with Stripe integrations, I'd love to buy this once and then plunk it down everywhere. Still, this is a cool effort and I hope to see it succeed!

I really liked Skeuocard. Skeumorphic design is on the out, but when it resembles what you're looking at while you input it - it might still be beneficial.

#8$149 is a extremely high price-point for this with so many alternatives out there. I also don't see the value vs. the price. I've implemented http://jquerycreditcardvalidator.com/ with authorize.net with zero issues.
Good luck selling this.

#9- $149 per site
- only minified source provided
- not out of the box compatible with a module loader
- no public bug tracker
- doesn't handle all edge cases (for example, type some numbers, place the cursor after the space, and hit backspace).
Good luck.
On the other hand, this is a nice list of edge cases for someone to check when they implement the open source weekend project version of this.

Skeuocard still suffers from severe usability problems I outlined here:

I still stand by what I said:
"That fancy CC form will not sell a single thing. It will however stop people from paying."
